[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - July 12, 2003
|
Reflections on M2:
* It came all together in the end!
* It wasn't clear which build is the test candidate for the go/no go
decision
->we will clarify the process for the M3 finish
M3:
* Mile stone plans should be posted on the Web by Friday
Build notes:
* The build notes are still not consistently updated
* Incremental updating of the build notes after every change avoids
additional
load during a build finish
* JDT Core build notes are a good example to mimic
Outreach:
* Eclipse BOF at ECOOP
- Andre gave a what's new presentation, posters and presentations
from
the community
- it was well attended and lots of positive feedback

proceeding in a CVS branch ("RCP_WORK_1")
- Focus for M3 is on making real the prototypes and designs we did for
M2.

architecture.
Core:
- generally good progress on M2
- good progress on concurrency
- working well with UI team on API definition
- initial work done with Team team on background CVS operations
- initial work done on background builders and listener notification
- core.resources work still in a branch...to be released to HEAD soon
- good progress on RCP (OSGi/dynamic plug-in work)
- demo at M2 of dynamic views being added/removed from a running
workbench
- able to run on top of multiple (minimally hacked) OSGi
implementations
- good proof of concept
- waiting on open source committee before progressing with XMLPull work
- ran into complications with deadlock at the end of the cycle
- took more time than desired to investigate
- but you cannot predict things like that!
- M3 plan in process of being posted to the web
Releng:
- Moved to 3.0 M2 plugins in builds.
The generated extension point doc fails chkpii testing because of a
hard-coded font attributes being set in a style tag.
For now, will ignore extension point doc in testing until there is a
solution for this.
- Moved to using IBM 131 sr5 for running build, 131 sr5 (SC) in testing
on Linux, Sun 131 08 is still the vm used for testing on Windows.
- Still working on moving to testing on Windows ME and Redhat Linux 9 -
ETA, end of this week.
